Our backpacking trips might miss the brunt of the rainstorm, according to the forecast, but that still means we're trekking on muddy trails with the occasional puddle to circumvent. The forecast can sometimes be unreliable, and we'll end up dealing with a bit of rain anyway, but at least we can rely on the Scarpa Men's Kailash GTX Hiking Boot's waterproofing for rain, mud, and even snow. Its GORE-TEX Performance Comfort membrane provides reliable waterproofing as well as amplified breathability for moving fast on the trail. This boot also boasts Vibram's new Biometric Trek sole, which includes 3D-molded lugs and toe caps for trail-specific traction.
